Anne E Dechant Carry On
A slender twenty four year old Walked herself across a road Under weeping trees Twenty years her memory As she held her father's hand And the family sang Amazing Grace In the pouring rain Before her feet a stone with words A gift for those she parted And in every cut of stone She found where she had started And she knew more who she was From the where that she had come And the things that bind us Carry on while I'm gone away Carry on with a smile on your face I'm as big as you keep in your heart And there I'll stay. I'll remain As you in me. There I'll be She ran her hand across the stone And heard her mother's laughter And promised to tell each one The story of their grandma And the things that had been been taken Made a vow to give her own Be the tie unbroken Carry on while I'm gone away Carry on with a smile on your face I'm as big as you keep in your heart And there I'll stay. I'll remain As you in me. There I'll be
